Here's the solution for the problem.

Maida made a sale and collected K504. She realized that she made a loss. What is her loss if her percentage loss is 10%?

Determine the percentage of the original cost price that the selling price (K504) represents.
If there is a 10% loss, the selling price is $100\% - 10\% = 90\%$ of the original cost price.
Calculate the original cost price.
Let the original cost price be $C$ .
$0.90 \times C = \text{K}504$ $C = \frac{\text{K}504}{0.90}$ $C = \text{K}560$
Calculate the loss amount.
$\text{Loss} = \text{Original Cost Price} - \text{Selling Price}$ $\text{Loss} = \text{K}560 - \text{K}504$ $\text{Loss} = \text{K}56$ $\text{K}56$
